Good luck for Sunway Lenang Height. They definitely need it.
Waiting eagerly for the launch of Sunway Lenang Height to further push up the price in the area, together with completion of 'little japan' township....haha. The artwork looks great!
Make sense. My chinese is rubbish and google translation is not helping. Is that mean its never happen in G&G area? I heard that Taman Molek is a crime hot spot.
I think it pays to be careful wherever we stay. But naturally, a well guarded place will be less attractive to crimminals and reduce the probbaility of getting hit.
G&G doesn't allow outsiders to loiter outside the house, or park motorbikes or cars just outside to facilitate fast getaway, so chances of brazen robbery like in the news are much lower. That is also why new G&G landed are getting popular with locals.
Just wondering if there's a mediocre G&G facility or development that we should be careful with?
I think it is the locality and management of G&G. Criminals can move to more affluent regions and standard of security might go up or down depending on the committee managing them. So far I have read about more crimes in JB city center, Bandar Seri Alam, Johor Jaya and Taman Tun Aminah. Bulk of Johoreans stay in city center and eastern side of JB. Many parts of Nusajaya are still new, so maybe not yet targetted so much by criminals.
Nusa Sentral or Nusa A###### near Nusajaya square for sure.. One still don't have fence up...one is so near xxxxx housing..
I just make a study of RTS station in JB for FUN. No personal attack please.
Malaysia-Singapore rapid transit system.
The station on Singapore side is Woodlands North MRT Station (TS1) which is an underground station. Hence there is a good chance the station at Johor Bahru side will be underground too to avoid people to escape custom check.
If the JB station is underground; there is a good chance it will be near JB Sentral.
However if they choose to have an above ground station; the station will be nearer to the Jalan TG Puteri. The authority will reclaim more land to make this a possibility.

I thought it's been confirmed that the JB RTS stop is at the old lorry customs area at Tanjong Puteri? RTS needs a big space, and Tanjong Puteri is really the only feasible area for the RTS stop in the JB centre area.
Thanks for pointing it out.....miss the news.....
Can it be underground at Old Lorry Custom.

JOHOR BARU: Nusajaya in Iskandar Malaysia has been earmarked as one of the three stop stations in Johor for the proposed high-speed rail (HSR) linking Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
Iskandar Regional Development Authority chief executive officer Datuk Ismail Ibrahim said as a green-field area, Nusajaya would definitely be a better choice for the stop station.
Ismail said several issues had to be looked into in the development of the HSR, including land acquisition and the relocation of residents affected by the project.
“The type of users of the service will be what finally determines the terminals or the stop stations for the system from KL to Singapore,'' he told StarBiz.
On Wednesday, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said five towns in the country had been earmarked as “stop stations” in the initial plan for the HSR; Seremban, Ayer Keroh, Muar, Batu Pahat and Iskandar Malaysia.
Malaysia and Singapore had on Tuesday jointly announced their agreement to build the HSR between the republic and Kuala Lumpur, expected to be completed by 2020.
The proposed project will cut travel time between the two capitals to just 90 minutes from the five hours of driving and seven hours by rail at present.
“Nusajaya, spanning 9,712.45 ha, is a good location for the stop station as opposed to the existing JB Sentral KTM station here which is facing space constraints,'' said Ismail.
He said the Nusajaya terminal would be connected to Kempas Baru, which had been designated as an integrated public transportation hub for Iskandar Malaysia.
Ismail said it would have all modes of transportation connecting to different flagship development zones in Iskandar Malaysia, with taxis, rapid bus transits and intra-city commuter train services for commuters.
On the Malaysia-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) link, he said both countries did not have to wait for the one-year cycle to make a decision on the project.
“We are giving ourselves ample time on the project. If both governments find the study is good, then it can start anytime,'' Ismail said, adding that there would be two options for the RTS project linking Johor Baru and Singapore for the trains to either run above ground (grate) or via undersea tunnel.
He said the first option could be a causeway (a land bridge), while the second option could either be a low bridge or a high bridge.
A low bridge is anything below 15 metres in height, which is impassable by boats, while a high bridge is more than 35 metres or equivalent to a seven-storey building that would allow a liner to pass through.
Ismail said if the undersea tunnel were chosen for the project, then there would also be a choice of it being either a sunken tunnel or a bore tunnel.
He said the undersea tunnel was a more favourable option as it would cause minimal disruption to traffic movements during the construction period, as the project would be located nearby the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complexes of Malaysia and Singapore.
“However, the final outcome on the type of link to be built will all depend on the recommendations of the study for the two governments involved as well as costing,' he elaborated.
Ismail said it did not matter what the final choice was, but the main objective of the RTS was to improve connectivity and accessibility between Johor Baru and Singapore.
The terminating stations of the link would be at the former site of the Tanjung Puteri Lorry Custom Complex here and in the vicinity of the Republic Polytechnic in Singapore.
The RTS link is targeted to be up and operating by 2018 and have a co-located (CIQ) facility in Singapore and a co-located CIQ facility here so that commuters need to clear immigration only once for each way of travel.
The Johor Causeway, which is about 1.06 km long, was completed in 1932 and links Johor Baru to Woodlands on the other side of the Straits of Johor.
About 80,000 to 100,000 vehicles use it daily.
Johor and Singapore are also connected via the Second Link, a dual three-lane carriageway linking Tanjung Kupang to Tuas in Singapore. The bridge is about 1.9 km long.

Reading between the lines, I think MY's preference is for (underground rail + underground rd link) while SG's preference is for above ground RTS link only.....haha
I tot Nusa Sentral already fenced up for phase 1, 2 & 3... while phase 4 & 5 are still under construction
2-weeks ago I passed-by and tried to go into phase 2 via the security guard house to take a closer look at the unit.. but was stopped by the security guard

Yes I do think the next wave of BBB (buy buy buy) might come from that part of the world. The Kuok deal last week or so is a sign of things to come. They have extremely strong connections in China and already we are seeing Chinese business interests in Malaysia - some bridge building, tunnel construction contracts have been awarded to Mainland Chinese firms in other states in Malaysia.
BN expect to lose gelang patah. But Johore should still come under BN. So the focus would turn away from nusajaya.
Hi Valdez what do u mean by interest will turn away from nusajaya ?
Don't be surprised. The Malaysian Government has already made some bold moves last year. The writing is on the wall, the red carpet has been unrolled.
